Question

For a linear programming problem we got the following shaded region as the feasible region.

Statement : The objective function will have both maximum and minimum value on the shaded region.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Theorem 2 in linear programming tells that for a bounded feasible region, the maximum and minimum value of the objective function occurs on the feasible region. Feasible region in this question is bounded by four straight lines. So the maximum and minimum value occurs on the shaded region.
